COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM All students must take at least two letter-grade NE courses during the first year as a graduate student. The Comprehensive Exam will be divided into two components, one devoted to leadership topics (to be administered by the Fung Public Policy (MPP) and Nuclear Engineering Institute), and the other to technical topics (to be administered by individual departments within COE). The exam may be written, oral, or a (MS) Concurrent Degree Program combination of the two. Government and technology interact more, and with greater consequences, every year. Whether the issue area is nuclear security, NE students that participate in a capstone project outside of the NE environmental protection, intellectual property (copyright and the department are required to highlight the NE component of their project or internet), health care, water supply, or any of myriad other contexts, will be tested on NE related topics based on coursework taken. government agencies at all levels, non-profit organizations and private industry need people who understand technology on its own terms and also the ways government supports, controls, or directs it.
